To all whom it may concern:

,Be it known that I, FREDERICK S. GLINn's, a citizen of the United States, residing in Swampscott, county of Essex, State. of

Massachusetts, have lnvented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyelet-Setting Devices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the drawings accompanying the same and forming a part thereof,

Myinvention relates to a device for set ting eyelets or rivets in one or more of a. plurality of layers of flexible material.

The object of my invention is to provide an adjustable shoulder to limit the movement of the material above or beyond the setting shoulder.

In the drawings illustrating my device Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved eyelet setting device with-the adjustable means secured thereto; Fig. 2 is a'vertical sectional elevation of same; and Fig. 3 is a plan of same. taken from the setting end of the device, or lower end as it appears in Fig. 1.

In the drawings illustrating my invenof the eyelet setting device and 2 is a threaded .portion of the proper size and pitch of thread to enable it to be inserted in an eyelet setting machine of the usual type.

3 is a shoulder designed to serve as a stop to limit the distance in which the thread 2 is screwed intotheeyelet setting machine.

a is the guiding end of the setting device which serves as a punch where the setting device combines a punch. for punchin a hole in which the eyelet is to be set w en punching is combined with the setting operation. j V

5 is a setting or riveting shoulder which turns over and resses down the set or riveted portion of t e eyelet. v

There is a threaded portion (i'above the setting shoulder 5 upon which is mounted the adjusting nut 7 so that said adjusting shoulder; a contracted portion above the a lication filed April 27, 1914. Serial miss-4,539.

tween it and the upper side of the adjusting as to retain the nut 7 in its adjusted position.

9 1s a constricted or contracted portion between the setting shoulder 5 and the face of the adjusting nut '7 next to it. This conuppermost layer of material to pass bove the setting shoulder 5 into the confe a cted portion 9 while the eyelet is being set the lowermost layer or layers of material,,as the case may be. I o' This eyelet setting device is designed to set eyelets .inone or more of the outside layers of a plurality of layers of flexible material. Where there are two layers of material cemented or fastened together in which it isv desired to set the eyelet, the device is so constructed that it will set eyelets in said one or more layers, the setting shoulder passing through one of the outermost layers to set the eyelet 'in the other one or more of the outermost layers, the contracted portion of the setting device being designed to allow. the layer of material in which it is not desired to set the eyelet to be passed above the setting shoulder while the operation of setting the eyelet is being performed.

I do not confine my invention to the exact formof adjusting nut or spring-washer, or thebody or contracted portion of the eyelet setting device as shown in the drawings, as their shape or form may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention;

' What I claim iS r 7' 1. The combination of a punching and eyelet setting device for setting eyelets in one or more of the layers of a plurality of layers of material, comprising a punch and a setting device having a projecting setting setting shoulder; and an adjustable shoulder contiguous to said contracted portion.

' 2. A device for setting eyelets in one of a v plurality of layers of a flexible material, said device comprising a projecting setting shoulder; a contracted portion above the setting shoiilder; and means constituting an adjustable shoulder contiguous to said con-' tracted portion.

3. A device for settin eyelets in one of a plurality of layers of a flexible material, said device comprising a setting device having a projecting setting shoulder; a contracted nut 7 and .lower'surface of the shouldeii'dm stricted portion 9 is designed -to permitthe portion above the setting shoulder; an adjustable device cyfiqueus to said cont-meter portion; and a frictional spring for maintaining said adjustable device in its adjusted posit-ion.

A device for setting eyelets in one of e L ity of layers of a flezzib'ie material, coiimrising a setting device having a projecting setting shoulder; and. adjustable means above said setting shoulder for varying the distance between said setting shoulder and she undeeside of said means.

in testimony whet-20ft, I have hereunto set my hand, in the presence of two subscribm.
